The Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1 team announced a new multi-year partnership with cybersecurity provider Zscaler. Aston Martin Aramco will use Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange platform to secure the team’s critical assets, from car design and race strategy to the real-time data flowing between the track and the UK-based AMRTC.
Zscaler’s platform will connect the race team and applications directly and securely, without exposing the network to attackers.
“Formula 1 is where the future of enterprise technology gets tested at 300 km/h,” Zscaler CMO Sunil Frida said. “Every car is a mobile data center, every race is a global, distributed operation and every millisecond counts. In an era where threats move at machine speed, defending against attackers requires advanced AI. That’s exactly the world Zscaler was built for.”
Formula 1 features vast volumes of data and critical operational systems. A single race weekend can reportedly generate more than a terabyte of telemetry from hundreds of sensors on each car, all of it flowing in real-time to engineers across different time zones.
Zscaler, which protects more than 45% of the Fortune 500, now joins Aston Martin Aramco Formula 1 Team as a global cybersecurity partner. The company's branding will debut on the nose, seatbelts and wing mirrors of the AMR26, while also being featured on the driver’s overalls at the Austrian Grand Prix.
